Tip
You can also insert a page break as follows;
1) Position the cursor in the paragraph you want to be at the start of the next page.
Right-click and choose Paragraph in the pop-up menu.
2) On the Text Flow page of the Paragraph dialog box, in the Breaks section, select
Insert. Do not select With Page Style.
3) Click OK to position the paragraph at the start of the next page.
Defining a different first page for a document
Many documents, such as letters and reports, have a first page that is different from the other
pages in the document. For example, the first page of a letterhead typically has a different header,
as shown in Figure 105, or the first page of a report might have no header or footer, while the other
pages do. With Writer, you can define the style for the first page and specify the style for the
following page to be applied automatically.
Figure 105: Letterhead with different page styles for first and following pages
As an example, we can use the First Page and Default page styles that come with Writer. Figure
106 shows what we want to happen: the first page is to be followed by the default page, and all the
following pages are to be in the Default page style.
